Release v2.25.0
(31.01.2025)
Introduction
This release introduces significant enhancements in security and user lifecycle management. With the advanced security enhancements and improvements in external user management, organizations can better control access to their collaboration spaces. Additionally, we have addressed several performance and stability issues to improve the overall user experience.
🔹 Security Enhancements for Platform Management:
We have strengthened the security framework for workspace provisioning and management by introducing additional authentication safeguards. These enhancements align with best practices to further protect platform operations.
🔹 User Expiration in Shared Channels:
We have introduced automated expiration policies for all members of shared channels. If the channel owner does not extend the expiration date, both internal and external users will be automatically removed after a defined period. This helps organizations enforce access policies more effectively and maintain a secure collaboration environment.
Enhancements
- Improved handling of newly invited guests to ensure timely availability in private channels.
- Resolved inconsistencies in user removal processes when approval workflows are in place.
- Optimized system behavior when dealing with orphaned workspaces and inactive owners.
- Enhanced lifecycle notification reliability to ensure timely updates.
- Lifecycle management improvements for workspaces with large document volumes.
- Resolved an issue preventing admins from archiving or deleting workspaces via the Admin Portal.
- Various stability and performance improvements for channel operations.
- Solution Key Vault Assemblies have been updated to the latest version.
- Teams Groups without a General tab can now be migrated.
